People I help most often.
Five situations that come up again and again, from the week before surgery to the years after.
Before surgery
You want to understand what's coming, get the house ready, and know who's picking you up.
After surgery
You're home with drains, dressings, new medications and a list of instructions, and you'd rather have a nurse than a guess.
Families at a distance
Your parent is at the Shore and you're not. You want someone there who will call you with the truth.
Seasonal residents
You're here for the summer or the winter and your usual care is somewhere else.
Staying ahead
You're well, you're active, and you want a nurse who checks in, sorts the medications, and goes to appointments with you.
In your home
What I do.
Something else? Ask. If it's nursing, I can probably help. If it isn't, I'll tell you who can.
Surgical recovery at home
The first days after your procedure, with a nurse watching the things that matter.
Overnight care
Overnight nursing care when your recovery calls for it.
Wound and drain care
Dressing changes, drain emptying and recording, and watching for signs your surgeon wants to know about.
Medication setup
Sorting what you take, when, and why, so the list on the fridge matches the bottles in the cabinet.
Injection support
Help preparing and taking injectable medication your provider prescribed, including weekly weight-management injections, until you're confident doing it yourself.
Appointments, accompanied
I come with you to the doctor, take notes, ask what you'd forget, and go over it afterwards.
Accompanied transportation
To and from your procedure or appointment, with a nurse rather than a rideshare.
Teaching for you and your family
What's normal, what isn't, and what to do about it, taught the way I taught patients for 20 years.
Private payQuoted after we talkNo insurance paperwork
- 01
Request care.
The short form on this site, or a call. No medical details needed yet.
- 02
I call you back.
Usually within one business day. We talk through what's happening and what would help.
- 03
A plan and a quote, in writing.
Visits, hours, timing, what I'll need from your surgeon's office.
- 04
Forms, then the first visit.
Consent and intake forms are completed before I arrive. Then I come to you.
Pricing
Quoted after we talk. Never a surprise.
In-home nursing is private pay. Because every situation is different, I don't post a rate card; I quote after our call, in writing, before anything is scheduled. Care is priced by the visit, the half day, the full day, or the overnight, and I'll tell you plainly what's included. I don't bill insurance, and there's no online payment: you receive an invoice.
Four ways care is priced
By the visit
A check-in, a dressing change, an appointment
Half day
A morning or an afternoon
Full day
When recovery needs a nurse present
Overnight
I stay, so your family can sleep
Alongside your surgeon and your doctor, never instead of them.
Nursing care follows your surgeon's or physician's orders. I don't diagnose or change your medications; I make sure the plan they wrote actually happens at home, I keep good notes, and I call them when something needs their attention. Surgeons tend to like having a nurse on the other end of the phone. Families tend to like it more.
In an emergency, call 911. Nursing care is for everything around the emergency.

Questions
Asked often.
How soon can you start?
Often within a few days, sometimes sooner for a scheduled surgery. Tell me your date and I'll tell you honestly what I can do.
Do you work with my surgeon's office?
Yes. With your permission I'll introduce myself to the office, follow their written instructions, and report anything they'd want to know.
Can you stay overnight?
Yes, when your recovery calls for it. Overnight care is planned in advance and quoted as part of your plan.
Do you help with weight-loss injections?
I help you prepare and take injectable medication your provider has prescribed, and teach you to do it yourself if you'd like. I don't prescribe, and I don't supply medication.
Do you take insurance or Medicare?
No. In-home nursing is private pay, invoiced to you. Some clients use HSA or FSA funds; check with your plan.
What if I'm not sure I need a nurse?
Call anyway. Part of my job is telling people what they don't need.
